Atlanta goes into halftime with a 21-3 lead.

I'm glad the team I'm rooting for this year is kicking butt.

With 11 seconds remaining, it looks like we are headed to the first overtime in Super Bowl history with the score tied 28-28.

Edit: Make it official. First Overtime Game ever.

Falcons blow a 25-point lead, lose in OT. Well, that's disappointing.

I don't usually have anything nice to say about the Patriots, so I'll just congratulate them on winning the Super Bowl and not say anything else.

Being from Atlanta, I half-expected as much. Never a Super Bowl, never an NBA championship, one WS championship out of the half-dozen we had a reasonable shot at ... following sports does not pay there, and never will.

I refuse to give the patriots any congratulations, so I'll say good on the comeback.

Nope, not even that either.

[up][up] As someone who's lived his entire life in cities where Every Year They Fizzle Out, you have my sympathies. (At least Seattle's picked up a Super Bowl title and a MLS championship recently. Vancouver hasn't been great lately, and San Diego... well, we know how that turned out.)

Interesting fact: Matt Ryan is the 8th straight MVP who played in the Super Bowl that season to lose in the game.

Regular Season MVP curse?

Side question, has anyone compiled a video of all the superbowl ads that played? Asking because I was watching it through the official Fox Sports stream, so I got to mostly skip ads
